Day five: sick!

Okay so it's day five and this no vitamins thing has taken its toll on me. I'm sick and I haven't been really sick the whole year, and I swear it's because of the vitamins. I'm actually having an asthma attack as I'm writing this, and it's brought on by me getting sick. Fun times!
So this morning I got to school fairly early and totally forgot that I had to get breakfast. I stood in the hallway talking to a teacher and then realized that it was seven thirty and I still hadn't eaten. I rushed down there and found my sister and we got food. The person in front of me got cinnamon toast crunch, a piece of toast, and an orange juice. I cheated, because I got a milk for my cereal. They didn't get any milk! I didn't want to eat DRY cereal! So I did cheat but I think it will be okay. I still got an orange juice, which made me want to puke it was pretty gross. It was warmish and just... no. I was so incredibly hungry by fourth hour, I felt like I was a dragon and I was about to eat everything I could find. Anything I saw, I was going to eat it. However, I waited until lunch, which was basically torture. My friends gave me sideways glances as my stomach hollered, telling me that it felt abandoned.
Lunch rolled around and I got in line, which wasn't too long today. The person in front of me got a baked potatoe but it was the last one so I asked the person behind me what they were getting. They looked at me weird like "uh, why does it matter, just get your food and go," but they told me they were going to get the "healthier" sub sandwich. It comes in a little plastic to go box and includes a turkey sub with cheese, a bag of garden salsa sunchips (score!) and an apple. along with the sandwich comes a little container of tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. I hate pickles. I never eat them. but since I'd already cheated once today I felt I should go ahead and eat the pickles. They weren't too terrible. The bag of sunchips literally made my day. If I ever get anything from the vending machines during the day it's always a bag of garden salsa sunchips. The apple, while a nice idea, was severely bruised. I ate it anyway and it was fairly decent and I feel I shouldn't complain too much because this was one of the better lunches I've had since I started this crazy experiment. I'm beginning to feel very tired throughout the day, especially during the mornings which I know is due to hunger. the afternoons are better, since lunch comes with more food. Now if only I can get to feeling better....
